pensnest: knitted sweater close up, caption: it's all in the details (Knitting details)
I had forgotten that the University Boat Race was due, until I spoke to my sister at the weekend and she reminded me. So I watched it yesterday on iPlayer. From what I could gather (I skipped through a lot of the guff they put in to make the programme longer), the crew members were training at home, separately, for a good six month, and only got to row together for the last 28 days. Which is a hell of a weird way to put a boat race crew together. However, all very satisfactory, and, to my astonishment, with bonus Olive and Mabel.

There's a post on Tom & Lorenzo here: https://tomandlorenzo.com/2021/04/berluti-fall-2021-menswear-collection/ which features (aside from a number of unexpectedly and unreasonably fabulous outfits for tall, slender chaps and some hats that should be incinerated) an item that intrigues me.

Scroll down to the chap in the sweater—it's turquoise with purple, red and tan in stripes, and worn with magenta pants (which works a lot better than one might think). I'm intrigued by the way the stitches are done, and not quite sure how it is happening. It looks like a mixture of knitting and weaving! Can anyone guess?
pensnest: bright-eyed baby me (I like long words)
While searching through my journal the other day I came upon a not-quite-meme, and decided to have another go.

I think it works like this: choose ten titles from your fic, and invite readers to guess what the story is about.

I've divided them by fandom, in case it makes a difference...

Popslash
A Little Bit Extra
Fettered
A Tale of Torment and Sweet Revenge
An Empty Cardboard Box
Cocktail Party
The Story of James Lance, who Told Lies, and Came to a Sticky End
Who's Your Daddy

ST:TNG
Between SemiQuavers
A Few Datas More

Glambert
Sparrowhawk and Beeswax

So, pick one, and tell me what you think the story is about!
